Interview With Queen Victoria

Just this week I had an interview with Queen Victoria. Here are the questions and answers for our interview.

1. How old were you when you became queen?

I was only 18 years old and didn’t know much about being a queen

But eventually I learned and became a good queen for my people.

2. When did you get married?

I married my cousin, Albert , at the age of 21.

3. Did you have any children?

Yes, nine in fact. We had a very busy home but managed to keep the place tidy.

4. What are the names of your children?

Victoria, Albert, Alice, Alfred, Helena, Louise, Arthur, and Beatrice. Oh yes , and I almost forgot, Leopold. He’s the shy one.

5. And what are some of your favorite hobbies?

I love singing and going to the opera. When I first started singing I sounded a bit like a rooster trying to bark like a dog.

6. How long have you ruled so far?

Oh well lets see here, about 38 years now . Wow that means I’m 56! I guess I am getting old.
